Disabling DDE for URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol
Hi,
I'm trying to disable DDE for clicking URL links. Searching for help, I've found that file type "URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol" should be listed in the Tools->Folder Options->File Types tab of file explorer. However, on my system I only have "URL" file type (as extension).
So I go to the registry and the file type is there, but I don't know how to disable DDE. There is a "HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-12209 45662-7893 36058-1801 674531-147 75\Softwar e\Classes\ http\shell \open\ddee xec" key but I don't want to cause damage.
My question: how to disable via registry or alternatively enable this on the File Types tab?
Thanks.

Hi, you were in the right place under file types tab, go down to URL and then click advanced and then click on edit (with open selected) and then uncheck use DDE. Click OK.

I can't find that in the file tabs, that's the issue.
did you check flyingsky suggested links?
ASKER
Yes I did.
Thanks all for the comments, but I actually checked that before I opened this message, but the association isn't there. Please see my original question - I specified there that I know how to disable DDE for URL:HTTP but I can't find the "URL:HTTP" file association. So my question is - why can't I find that association?
Thanks.

Just to clarify, they are at the top (started typiong this last night, but apparantly lost my train of thought...)
Listed as the following.....
(NONE) URL:Gopher Protocol
(NONE) URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol
(NONE) URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy
Thats probably why you didnt see it down by the actual URL extension.....
Glad your fixed though....
